Problem Solving is like Elephant Eating

September 21, 2021

As the old joke goes

Q: How do you eat an elephant?

A: Bit by bit, one piece at a time.

Sounds logical when you see it like that doesn’t it? Problem solving is very similar. You need to break down this large, seemingly insurmountable problem that is recurring, systemic and causing lots of hassle and expense in the business. This process is not for little problems that are easily solved, it is for the 10% of problems that keep coming back, no matter how many fixes you put in place, you just can’t seem to nail it.

Instead of attributing blame for a problem recurring, why not work in a cross-functional, cross-departmental group to get to the root cause and address that, so that the problem can be torn out by the roots, and never come back?

Sound good? Our proven 10-Step Problem Solving process delivers just that. With millions of dollars saved for clients already, it is either a facilitated face-to-face process to work with you to sort out a specific problem, or now we have an online version ‘Problem Busters’ available, where for a one off cost you get 12-months to use the process as many times as you like – offering the opportunity to address many systemic, recurring issues in your organisation for a one off cost. Now that’s value.
